JFK Assassination Forum

My understanding is that while they did not technically eliminate the taxes on SS the $6k deduction effectively does the same thing for most seniors because it is estimated that the deduction covers the SS taxes for 90% of seniors.

I understand that. However, it is only for three years. I am thankful for what is being done. But it isn’t what was promised.

What a fantastic couple of weeks for Trump and America.  The Bill is done.  The borders are closed.  Inflation is down.  Gas prices are down.  Jobs are up.  CBS is paying Trump millions for their election interference.  Ceasefire in Iran.  Pending ceasefire in Gaza.   It is a stark contrast to the unmitigated disasters under Biden.  Leadership matters.

I am a bit confused regarding the Social Security aspect of the bill. I read a news article that indicated they passed a $6,000.00 boost to the standard deduction for seniors (in lieu of eliminating taxes on SS). Then I got an email from Social Security indicating that taxes on SS have been eliminated. Which one is right (if either are)?


Edit: I read an article from AARP this morning which said the $6,000.00 boost to the standard deduction is correct. However, it is only temporary (3-years). And it phases out for people with higher incomes. So, whatever happened to the “No taxes on Social Security promise???   

  Yeah, and somehow he smuggles a rifle into the TSBD. And then somehow moves that rifle up onto the 6th Floor. He then fires 3 shots and kills a POTUS. He manages to pull All of this off, and then somehow gets surprised inside the 2nd Floor Lunchroom with his pants down? Seriously?

Apparently you are unaware that in November 1963 Castro and JFK, through intermediaries, were discussing normalizing relations between the U.S. and Cuba, which was something that Castro strongly desired, so Castro certainly would not have ordered a hit on JFK.

Should Castro and his triple agent, Rolando Cubela, have realized that Desmond FitzGerald wasn't acting with the blessing of JFK or RFK (or was he?) when he gave Cubela the poison pen in Paris?

Gilberto Policarpo Lopez's estranged daughter communicated with me via this forum and by personal e-mail in 2018. She said her father was a violent man and that he was very pro-Castro. I asked her if he could whistle loudly, and she said yes, that he did it all the time when she was young.

It's known that he was hanging out, "waiting for an important phone call," at a Fair Play for Cuba meeting place in Tampa a few days before the assassination, that he got his Mexican Tourist Card in Tampa on 11/20/63, and that he crossed into Mexico at Nuevo Laredo on 11/23/63 and registered at the Roosevelt Hotel in Mexico City at 4 PM on 11/25/63.

According to CIA reports, he was the only passenger on a Cubana Airlines plane flying to Havana from Mexico City on 11/27/63. She sent me two photos of him by e-mail. I posted one of them on the Internet. IIRC, she said he sometimes bragged about the large "cargo" plane and the fact that he was its only passenger.

Was Policarpo Lopez the "Oswald" that Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig claimed to hear whistle loudly and watch run down the slope to Elm Street and hop into a Rambler station wagon driven by a dark-complected man about ten minutes after the assassination?

One, apparently you are unaware that in November 1963 Castro and JFK, through intermediaries, were discussing normalizing relations between the U.S. and Cuba, which was something that Castro strongly desired, so Castro certainly would not have ordered a hit on JFK.

Two, Roger Craig was not the only witness who saw a man/men hurriedly get into a Rambler station wagon right after the shooting.

The HSCA staff report on Dealey Plaza conspiracy witnesses notes that a witness named Richard Randolph Carr saw three men coming from the back of the TSBD and then entering a Rambler station wagon that was parked on the wrong side of the street.

Mrs. James Forrest was standing among some people who had gathered near the grassy knoll after the shooting. She saw a man run from the rear of the TSBD and then enter a Rambler station wagon on Elm Street.

A fourth person, Marvin Robinson, also reported that a man who came from the direction of the TSBD got into a Rambler station wagon.

Another witness, James Worrell, saw a man hurriedly leaving the rear of the Book Depository and running in the opposite direction from Worrell. Worrell said the man was wearing a dark jacket and light pants.

Craig's account of the Rambler station wagon is supported by photographic evidence. One photo shows Craig heading toward the grassy knoll.  Another photo shows him standing near the knoll.  And another photo shows him standing on the south side of Elm Street looking toward the Book Depository. In the third photo, a light-colored Rambler station wagon can be seen traveling west on Elm Street. In another photograph, Craig can be seen looking toward Elm Street in the general direction of the station wagon.
